russian Tu-22m3 strategic bombers are operating from the Sea of Azov and the North. There is no information about the Tu-95ms.
There are many false targets, the russian electronic surveillance system is actively working.
Russian means of radio-electronic warfare are actively working, so there are a lot of simulated launches, but not so many real missiles. If we mention Gerasimov, then this is a story with 20 missiles at most, the situation is most likely the same here.
The air alert in the Kyiv oblast is related to an unknown flying object. Perhaps a reconnaissance UAV or again balloons with reflectors. #RussiaUkraineWar
There have been several false air alerts lately.
"False" conditionally - it turned out that instead of "Shaheeds" reconnaissance drones, balloons with corner reflectors are flying; everyone on this occasion breathed a sigh of relief and returned to their previous affairs.
But this is worse than lethal Iranian unmanned aerial vehicles. The Shaheeds fly along the coordinates, attack the previously known stationary targets. Aerial reconnaissance is looking for tastier targets - air defense positions, military camps, headquarters, warehouses ...
Corner reflectors on the balls imitate large aircraft, activate the air defense system so that the enemy - with the help of reconnaissance drones - detects their coordinates.
A massive air attack is being prepared. The enemy did not abandon attempts to gain air supremacy.
Geopolitics is an interesting thing...
We all remember the total skepticism of our Western partners regarding Ukraine's ability to offer decent resistance to full-scale russian aggression.
And now, in #Ramstein, they are already competing with each other to provide maximum support to the Defense Forces and the Ukrainian people...
And this is understandable, because #Ukraine saved @NATO and Western countries from a possible complete defeat. As it turned out, the countries of the Alliance did not have a sufficient number of trained and motivated personnel, combat-ready equipment and weapons, ammunition...
